Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Some one tinks that we could compile the kernel to the debian dns313 to use Ata over Ethernet??

do you mean target (server) or client?
AoE kernel module compiled succesfully, so i'll try it in the evening
edit:
client compilation also without errors, so we'll see...

I don´t know where but I remember that there are a windows driver for ata AoE.
Just when I know where is it, I´ll tell you somethings.

Hi,
As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_over_Ethernet there are AoE drivers for Windows. Also in Vista there is iSCSI support.
So what you're up to :-)

Did you manage to get AoE working?
I would be interested in using that method for storing backups with the dns-323 as server.
Does the kernel module work?
Were you able to compile the vblade package without issues?
Does it work?
Would this work on a recompiled version of the standard 2.6.12.6 kernel plus a vblade funpkg? (which I would obviously have to make)
Ideally, I would like to repartition the hard-drive to create a new partition that I would use exclusively for AoE while keeping sda2/sdb2 for use by the dns-323 as HD_a2.
Would this work? or would the dns-323 barf try to always reformat the "extra" partition?

i've managed to compile the AoE enabled kernel - the module loads on. but i wasn't able to make it work. the aoeutils package can also be crosscompiled without any problems
vblade compiled by me loads and responds for the commands
i did't do more experiments, as i have little time due to school. but if you are a bit experienced with linux, i can answer any build-related questions you have.
kernel i am using is 2.6.15 from latest storlink GPL package

Maybe a simpler option is to use the vblade optware package. There are instructions on the wiki for installing ipkg for optware packages (http://dns323.kood.org/howto:optware) and there is a vblade package (vblade_19-1_arm.ipk) complied at this link http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa … /unstable/ vblade is a userspace daemon that is part of the aoetools package so I think you should not need a AoE enabled kernel.
